More than $10,000 in electronics equipment and items on loan from a Frank Lloyd Wright museum were stolen Wednesday morning from a model home in the 1995 Cavalcade of Homes, police said.
An employee of Reese Custom Residences, the home’s builder, discovered the burglary when he showed up to water the lawn at the house on Snapjack Circle early Wednesday, police said.
The thieves apparently entered the house through a basement window and took a stereo system, a television set and reproductions of several Frank Lloyd Wright lamps, oil paintings and glass window covers, said Sgt. Dave Hoffman.
The replicas were on loan from the Frank Lloyd Wright Studio Foundation in Oak Park, Reese officials said.
The Cavalcade of Homes, sponsored by the Northern Illinois Homebuilders, has been open since June 17 and will run until July 9.
